the drone program is perhaps my largest criticism of obama, my largest problem with obama. i didn't like it when bush was doing it. so i don't like obama doing it. i like the hand on the steering wheel better than before. i don't like us being at war but i would like less war in general. >> you have to remember this isn't better moral code. these are drones that are actually machinery for war. that's what they are, weapons for war and if we want to keep going forward we're going to have look at how they're being used. the fact is no one knows what really happens until you're in that chair and i find it unbelievable that the obama administration would even propose writing a rule book because they've continued more of the bush policies than they thought they would. >> yeah. >> absolutely. i don't know where they get off thinking they're the ones to have the moral high ground. >> the idea that they're pushing here, though, the idea behind this rule book was basically i what crystal was saying. we're comfortable making these decisions ourselves, makes these arbitrary and object

that was two days after president obama won reelection. the president knows i'm the most reasonable and responsible guy in washington. you know in some ways john boehner has proven himgs to be reasonable over the years. in june 2002 during george w. bush's first term in office, congressional republicans were faced with the issue of raising the nation's debt ceiling. that's the limit for how much the country can borrow to pay for things. no politician ever likes to raise the debt ceiling. nobody likes to think the country has to borrow money, but we do. so in june of 2002 when that vote came up, he voted yes. let's raise the debt ceiling. it's the responsible thing to do. november 2004, john boehner voted to do it again under president bush to raise the debt ceiling. april 2005 at the start of bush's second term, john boehner votes in favor of raising the debt ceiling. so matter how opposed you might be to borrowing money, however, distasteful it is to you, everybody realizes as long as we are borrowing money, not raising the debt ceiling w
